6 Slimming Snacks to Take to Work

Surviving a day at the office requires intelligence, time management skills -- and a good supply of snacks. If your snack habits revolve around donuts in the lunchroom and the vending machine in the cafeteria, you may experience sugar highs...and lows. Not to mention an expanding waistline that will give you an unwelcome reason for shopping.

Kick that sugar-and-white-flour routine and substitute these tasty and healthy treats:
